recommended by the Engine Manufacturer. Wait one minute for the oil to
settle.

and then remove it to check the oil level (clean the Dipstick with the clean rag
after checking).
4. Continue adding a few ounces of oil at a time, rechecking the Dipstick until
the oil reaches the fill mark. Be careful not to overfill.
5. Replace the Dipstick and screw all the way down when full.
